Connecting the Cable

Twisted Pair

If you are using twisted pair cable, Modicon recommends Category 5, which is
rated to 100 Mbps. Use RJ-45 connectors. Slip the connector into the port. It should
snap into place.

Fiber Optic

Use 62.5/125 fiber optic cable with ST-style connectors. Modicon sells a 3 m cable
with connectors (990 XCA 656 09).

Remove the protective plastic coverings from the cable ports and the tips of the
cable. Snap one of the fiber cable clasps onto the cable, carefully pressing the
cable through the slot so that the wider end of the clasp is closest to the boot.

The key to installing the cable is to align the barrel, the locking ring and the
connector.
